Hello my name is Leighton Harris and I teach Music at OPES! I've been teaching Music since 2013 when my husband and I moved from West Virginia. Cello is my primary instrument, and I've played since I was in Kindergarten! I started teaching at OPES in 2022. I live a life truly impacted by the arts and I love sharing my passion for music with our OPES students!
